To my friends who:

enjoy a glass of wine, and those who don't ,
and are always seen with a bottle of water
in their hand,

Ben Franklin said:

"In wine there is wisdom,

In beer there is freedom,

In water there is bacteria."

 In a number of carefully controlled trials,
scientists have demonstrated that
if we drink 1 litre of water each day,
at the end of the year we would
have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli,
(E.. Coli)  bacteria found in feces.

In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop annually.

 However,

We do NOT run that risk
when drinking wine and beer (or rum, whiskey or other liquor)

because alcohol has to go through a purification process
of boiling, filtering and fermenting.

Remember:

Water = Poop,

Wine = Health

Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid,

than to drink water and be full of ****.

VERIFICATION:

BOTH THE HOUSE AND SENATE
DRINK A LOT OF WATER WHILE IN SESSION.

THIS EXPLAINS THE RESULTS THEREIN  . . . .

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information:

I'm doing it as a public service.
